Chapter 223: Inheritance Space, Encountering Xu Bai Again

Chapter 223: Inheritance Space, Encountering Xu Bai AgainXu Hei gazed into the distance. Although the landscape had changed dramatically, he could still recognize it as the Earth Path.

Despite being a desert and a wasteland, it retained vitality with towering cacti and scattered oases, making it an ideal place for seclusion.

Hei Huang had already dived into one of the oases, devouring it madly.

"A miraculous inheritance space," Xu Hei thought to himself.

At that moment, a voice came from the sky.

"One year here is equivalent to one month outside."

"You have one year to prepare. After that, you will compete with others from the places of inheritance," the Earth God said before disappearing.

Compete... Xu Hei wasn't sure what kind of competition it would be. He only had two demonic beasts, while the Zhou Family and Chu Tian Alliance each had six people.

Without overthinking, Xu Hei immediately entered an oasis, practicing breathing exercises to quickly restore his depleted True Qi.

His external incarnation would lose contact if too far away and would act according to his original self's style.

The incarnation had eighty percent of his cultivation but lacked the Black Dragon Pagoda, Ji Ying, Blood God Armor, and various talismans and magical treasures.

In reality, it had less than half of his original self's combat power.

His original self could contend with Core Formation stage opponents, while the incarnation could at most show off in the Foundation Establishment stage.

However, Xu Hei still let the incarnation carry a magical treasure, the Soul-absorbing Flag. The snake spirit inside could self-destruct to temporarily hold off a Core Formation stage opponent, which was the incarnation's biggest trump card.

"One year... I wonder if I can break through to the late Foundation Establishment stage."

"This journey offers great opportunities, but there's been no time to digest them. Now is a perfect chance."

Xu Hei took out ancient pills and placed them in front of him.

The ancient pills from the corpse puppets, thousand-year spirit medicines, ten-thousand-year spirit medicines, and the wealth of Liu Chengfeng and Zhou Qing, all combined, amounted to a considerable fortune.

As long as he utilized these pills, Xu Hei was confident he could reach a higher level.

Such a great opportunity would be unimaginable for anyone, even the first Chosen of the Heavenly Puppet Sect, Bai Luo, wouldn't have such good treatment.

Xu Hei took out an ancient Essence Cultivation Pill, broke the seal, and swallowed it in one gulp.

"Boom!!"

The pill dissolved, and surging True Qi rushed through Xu Hei's meridians and flesh.

The biggest difference between ancient pills and modern ones was the quality of Spiritual Qi. Back then, everyone achieved perfect Foundation Establishment, so the pills were naturally tailored for that!

When Xu Hei took ordinary pills, he couldn't feel any fluctuation in his cultivation. Now, he immediately felt his cultivation rising.

The effect lasted only a day before the medicinal power was exhausted.

His cultivation increased by about one percent.

"These ancient pills are good, but they've been stored too long, losing much of their potency. There are pros and cons," Xu Hei sighed inwardly.

He took out another Essence Cultivation Pill and swallowed it, fully refining it.

Any improvement was better than standing still.

There were enough Essence Cultivation Pills for him to consume for two months.

Additionally, there were Nine Yang Powder, Muscle-Easing Pills, Sky Blue Pills, and others to enhance various attributes, including body strengthening, marrow cleansing, bone refining, and mind sharpening, enough to transform Xu Hei's physique!

These ancient pills and thousand-year spirit medicines, if taken out casually, would cause a frenzy.

Moreover, he had a pile of unopened mystery boxes that required a key, and he didn't know what pills they might contain.

Since entering the ruins, Xu Hei hadn't had a moment's peace, constantly fighting or on the way to a fight. Now, he finally had a chance for seclusion.

...

Outside the inheritance space.

Xu Hei's external incarnation also sprang into action.

The incarnation would act according to his original self's will. His task was to find Xu Bai's location and observe others' movements.

Xu Hei took out a jade slip, activated it with his divine sense, and sped towards the southeast.

In the blink of an eye, five days had passed since the first inheritance opened.

More and more people entered Wuyou City. Without the interference of corpse puppets, they conducted a thorough

Don't ask where he learned that.
